Sorry Angel Lyrics
Sorry angel, désolé
I sent you to suicide, lover
I wasn't worth the pain
Without me, you decided, lover
On the voyage of the vain
Sorry angel, désolé
Was it some dark vertigo, lover?
Drawing you to pain
Drawing you to loneliness, lover
The voyage of the vain
Sorry angel, désolé
I tried everything, lover
It wasn't worth the strain
Fate led us onwards, lover
Remorseless in vain
Sorry angel, désolé
I sent you to suicide, lover
Opened up the vein
So you're an angel, lover
Forever
I wasn't worth the pain
Without me, you decided, lover
On the voyage of the vain
Drawing you to pain
Drawing you to loneliness, lover
The voyage of the vain
It wasn't worth the strain
Fate led us onwards, lover
Remorseless in vain
Opened up the vein
So you're an angel, lover
Forever

Really cool song! It definately rocks! But does Alex really sing "désolé" or are the lyrics incorrect ??
I really like this track, a lot of energy and a great performance by everyone. Alex's voice is very emotive here, a great touch on a song about a lover's suicide. And yes, the lyric seems correct. Does anyone know who wrote this song?
taken from franzferdinand.co.uk "Before Christmas, we recorded a Serge Gainsbourg song called Sorry Angel. It's a duet with Jane Birkin. She is extremely charming and it was a real privilege to perform with her[...]"
They sang it several times at french television, with Jane Birkin. It's not the original lyrics (apart the "Sorry Angel désolé" part) though I love the way it turned to.
